The flavor text is in reference to Ezra "Ephoenix" Chatterton, a 10-year old boy who played a tauren hunter and was a brain cancer patient. Ezra visited Blizzard HQ for a day through the Make-A-Wish Foundation in May 2007, and got to design the quest Kyle's Gone Missing! — even providing the voice for the quest giver Ahab Wheathoof. He also received the world first Ashes of Al'ar from Jeff Kaplan (AKA Tigole), who at that time was World Designer for World of WarCraft. Tigole was also responsible for creating this crossbow, after Ezra voiced his desire for a crossbow that shot flaming arrows.

Ezra suffered a stroke in August 2008 and passed away a couple months later. He was 12-years old at the time.
